Minor in Early Modern Studies - Structures of the Modern Self II EMSP 2002   Structures of the Modern Self II
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course continues exploring the development of the modern self in its European cultural expressions, primarily focusing on philosophical and literary texts from the Enlightenment to early developments in Romanticism. We will grapple with early modern ethical theories and the problem of evil. We will also examine the Romantic reaction to the Enlightenment’s emphasis on reason, and the championing of emotion as a more authentic expression of the self. We will continue to examine the novel as a genre and consider portraiture as an expression of the modern self.
